STRONG BACKGROUND

Lead Attorney, Darren J. Kessler, began his career as a  Deputy District Attorney in Contra Costa County from 1984-1989,  and developed strong roots in that county, forging lasting relationships with important individuals in the right places. These relationships and his amazing track record have given him a great reputation in the district and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.    His experience extends statewide, having handled cases in Los Angeles, Ventura,  Monterey, Santa Cruz and throughout the  San Francisco  Bay Area including  the United States District Court. Frequently, West Count Law associates with other lawyers  and law firms to insure that his clients have the most effective  team of representation.

   Darren  Kessler has the unique perspective from both sides of the system giving his clients a strong advantage.  Mr. Kessler  understands that if you need to call him, you are dealing with a life altering situation and this can be scary and overwhelming.   Mr. Kessler and his associates are here to listen and to help.  They  can answer your questions and give you an idea of what to expect.  

 Over 30 years of experience in   parent representation    and   child advocacy   in   juvenile dependency cases can help you save your children from being placed in foster homes or taken from you forever. Children sometimes need representation in family law, guardianships and conservatorships.  Mr. Kessler is a strong advocate for their needs in such cases.

Darren Kessler and his associates have successfully handled personal injury and civil rights lawsuits achieving very large monetary recoveries for his clients.   Some cases have made the news because of the extraordinary results (see firm profile page).   All injury cases are handled including, but not limited to   auto accidents,   police brutality, race and gender discrimination, as well as social worker and foster home neglect.
    Mr. Kessler and his associates at West County Law  have handled thousands of criminal cases and  can guide you through the frightening experience of facing criminal charges.   DUI/Drunk Driving cases involve   license suspensions    and  Mr.  Kessler and his associates are familiar with how to coordinate and minimize or eliminate any penalty that you face  in court and with DMV.   West County Law's experience with serious and violent crimes,   weapon and drug offenses can help you  or your loved one stay out of jail  completely or get treatment as an alternative to incarceration.
  


If you have a problem you need help with, please call Darren Kessler for assistance for a FREE consultation. You will speak to   an attorney    directly, not a paralegal or secretary. Together we can develop a mutual plan.
